Adam Gold

Adam Gold appears in Planet Money vs. the NBA’s tanking problem as the named developer of the Gold Plan. The source does not make him a main interview subject; his importance is that the anti-tanking proposal carries his design logic into the [[ProfessionalWomensHockeyLeague|PWHL]] case.

In the wiki, Gold’s role is therefore mechanism-specific: he is attached to a draft-order design that tries to reward post-elimination winning rather than season-ending losing.
